阅读下面的短文,根据短文内容,回答下列问题。
Ludwick Marishane, a young man from South Africa, was with his friends in Limpopo when they started talking about inventing something to put on your skin so you don’t have to take a bath. He used his mobile phone to do a lot of research (研究) online.
Millions of people around the world haven’t got clean water. This is a huge problem because dirty water causes terrible illnesses. One of them is trachoma (沙眼). Thousands of people all over the world get it every year. They wash their faces with dirty water, get an infection (传染病) and sometimes become blind.
Ludwick started thinking. He wanted to make something to help people in parts of the world where it’s difficult to find clean water. He did more research on his mobile phone. Ludwick had a plan. He wanted to make a gel (凝胶) for people to put on their skin, so they don’t have to take a bath. He wrote the formula (配方) for the gel on his mobile phone. When he was at university, he never stopped thinking about his invention. Three years later the dream came true. He made the gel and called it “Dry Bath”. It looks like any other gel, but it isn’t! It saves lives, and it also helps save water!
Ludwick Marishane is the winner of lots of prizes. People call him “one of the brightest young men in the world”. He is very happy about the success. That’s important in many parts of the world where it’s difficult to find clean water. Now he wants to invent other things, and he wants to help other young people become inventors, too.
